'allow updates' is ON

  • Hi All,

    It turned out that on my SQL 2K5 64bit the following configuration has been set up:

    NAME: allow updates

    MINIMUM: 0

    MAXIMUM: 1

    CONFIG_VALUE: 1

    RUN_VALUE: 1

    Now I read that on 2K5 it has no effect anymore as modification to system tables are not supported. My question is whether are there any impacts if I set it to the default value of OFF? I would like to do so as the integrity check maint plan keeps failing and this seems to be a workaround.

    I would be also interested in knowing a few examples when you need to set it ON and why it is beneficial. If anyone could share his/her thoughts on this I would be thankful.

  • Turn it off. It doesn't need to be on for anything, all having it on will do is throw an error when a RECONFIGURE is run.
